For the week of August 24-30, Apple TV+'s "Ted Lasso" (Season 4) climbs to #1 on the TVision Power Score, overtaking Reacher after two weeks in the runner-up spot. Jason Sudeikis returns as the relentlessly upbeat American coach running AFC Richmond. Taking the top spot in week three is a slow burn, not a spike. It means the audience didn't just show up for the comeback, they kept showing up and pulled others in with them. 

Amazon's "Reacher" (Season 4) slips to #2 after two weeks at #1. Alan Ritchson is back as Jack Reacher, the ex-Army investigator who tends to solve problems the hard way. The drop is less about Reacher losing steam and more about Ted Lasso finding another gear. Reacher is still pulling elite-level attention and sitting a hair off the top.

Hulu's "Furious" (Season 1) holds at #3 for a third straight week. Emmy Rossum stars as FBI agent Alice Black, hunting a calculating serial killer played by Lola Petticrew as the line between pursuer and prey starts to blur. Three weeks locked in the top three is no accident. New series usually spike on debut and fade fast, but Furious keeps planting itself at the front of the pack. That kind of sustained hold is exactly what a platform dreams about when it launches something original.

Methodology & Metrics

TVision measures Viewer Presence and Attention for every second of programming and advertising on television. Every time a person walks into the room, our technology detects who the viewer is, where they are in the room, and what their eyes are looking at. We do all this without personally identifying individual users, and without transmitting any images or videos. TVision’s data is collected from an opt-in panel of 5,000 homes across the United States and weighted to represent the country. All demographic data is self-reported by the respondents. Linear and CTV ad impressions data in this report is from May 1 – May 31, 2023 or May 29 – June 4, 2023, unless otherwise indicated.

About the TVision Power Score

The TVision Power Score is a completely new ranking designed to factor in both viewership and engagement when measuring the performance of CTV programming. The Power Score is based on the industry’s most comprehensive view of the CTV landscape - TVision measures activity across over 1,000 apps - and enables an accurate understanding of the relative performance of CTV content across any app. This new way to understand show performance will enable industry watchers to more quickly identify trending content and CTV’s hottest programming and even uncover hidden gems distributed through smaller apps.

The TVision Power Score factors in four key metrics: the amount of time viewers pay attention to the program, the amount of program time available for the season, the program’s reach, as well as the application’s reach. This combination of metrics was chosen to enable a neutral look at the quality of programming and its unique, inherent ability to draw in viewers - regardless of the scale of the platform, or the program’s release schedule.
